The Falcons drop to 5-10 on the season after losing a home game to the division cellar dwelling Saints 27-20.

It was a lackluster game on offense as the Falcons looked like they were experimenting for next season instead of trying to win the game at home.  They got away from the run game in the 2nd half instead of trying to remain balanced.

The defense didn't have a bad game.  Save for one long 85 yard run, they otherwise held A Kamara on the other 17 ca...

The Falcons have known what it is like to have a guy in the secondary to seemingly be wielding Thor's hammer when making big hits.  Keanu Neal roamed the Falcons secondary for years and always tackled with bad intentions.  Today, the Falcons faced the Seahawks and their "Hulk Smash" safety Jamal Adams.

Nevertheless, the Falcons prevailed 38-31 on the road in Seattle, but it was far from easy.

The Falcons got the ball first and proceeded to driv...

The Falcons season continues to go downhill after a Week 14 home loss to the Panthers 30-10.

In this rematch, the Falcons just couldn't get their offense going.  T Gurley was held to just 31 yards on the ground on 12 carries (despite catching 7 balls for 91 yards.  But Gurley's increased workload in the passing game was due to J Jones and C Ridley being blanketed by Panther's cornerback to the tune that both receivers totaled just 1 catch for 17 yards.

The Falcons jumped out to an early 17-0 lead on the Saints in New Orleans in Week 13.  They cashed in on a 53 yard pass from Matt Ryan to C Ridley which lead to an early T Gurley touchdown run. This was followed by a  J Rohrwasser field goal and 39 yard touchdown pass from M Ryan to H Hurst.   The defense was able to pick off Aaron Rodgers twice early in the game.

But the Saints wouldn't just fold up the tent and was able to get a 2nd quarter touchdown ru...

Matt Ryan has been under heavy scrutiny lately for not protecting the ball, leading the league in interceptions.  But his lone turnover of the game wasn't even entirely his fault.

With a chance to maybe tie the game with a touchdown & 2 point conversion to send game into overtime, the Falcons were mounting a final drive.  But T Gurley slipped and fall on a route causing the ball to be intercepted with less then a minute left in a dark and rainy Charlotte.

The Falcons knew at this stage in Matt Ryan's career some of his physical skills would start to diminish.  What they didn't count on was his eye-sight being the biggest issue.

Ryan threw 4 more ints vs the Bengals which included 2 in the redzone that went for pick 6's.  That was the difference in the game as they lose at home 42-30.

The defense didn't play bad at all. They limited Joe Borrow to just 213 yards with 15 completions on 30 attempt...

The vets asked for time off during the bye week and it was partially granted.

Coach agreed to not have on field practices this week in lieu of just virtual meetings so players could spend time at home with family and recover from some nagging injuries.

The Falcons are 3-6 on the season, but after a 5 game losing streak, they have won the last 2 games.  After the upcoming Week 11 game versus the Bengals, they have 2 games with both division rivals Panthers and Sai...

Julio Jones hauled in a 36 yard TD on 3rd and 15 in overtime to lift the Falcons over the Steelers 26-20.  

The Falcons overcame 3 turnovers (2 ints and 1 fumble return for TD) to stay in the game and force OT with a field goal tying game at 20-20.  Falcons got the ball 1st and started to drive but had to make a tough decision on whether to punt or go for it on 4th and 2 from their own 43 yard line. They opted to go for it and converted on a pass to Ridley that wa...

The Falcons finally get off the sneid of losing 5 in a row with a Week 8 road victory vs Tampa Bay 49-23.

After punching in the opening drive with 1 of T Gurley 4 tds on the day, the defense was able to hold the Bucs to a field goal making score 7-3. On the next drive, after metriculating the ball down the field, M Ryan threw a pick six to make the score 10-7 Tampa.  You could hear the fans who traveled from Atlanta start to murmur with the "Here we go again".&nbs...

The slide continues for the Falcons as they drop their week 7 game at home to the Rams 45-20.  At times, the Rams looks like they could do whatever they wanted.  They passed the ball with no fear of turnover as J Goff was an efficient 14 for 16 for 248 and 3tds.  C Kupp had 4 grabs for 120 and 2 tds. They also ran the ball at a healthy clip as C Akers went for 26-143-2.

The team looks unprepared as they blew coverage against the pass on sevaral occasions and didn&...
